My creative project is an audio piece where I play a Brazilian rhythm using kitchen equipment. As a music major, my aim for this project was to incorporate my love for music into the course subject and make it into something fun. I drew inspiration for this project from Prof. Amarildo Costa, whom I had the chance to meet while studying abroad. He was the leader of the Brazilian Percussion ensemble, and he would always tell us in class that his passion for percussion burned so bright that when he was little, he would use pots and spoons in his house to try to make music.
"Who Did It?" is a game show designed to make learning about infectious diseases engaging and entertaining. Set within the eerie confines of a haunted house, the game positions players as investigators tasked with solving mysterious deaths. As participants explore various rooms and encounter staged "dead bodies," they must collect clues and use their knowledge to determine the infectious disease responsible for each death. This educational approach not only enhances participants' understanding of epidemiology and disease pathology but also employs a unique narrative and interactive gameplay to maintain excitement and curiosity.
